I think it would depend on the reason they might be taking this company private...

Option 1) Take private to avoid regulataory costs and other hassle: Yes, I believe they would remain with the company as it is currently aligned

Option 2) Take private in a Reverse Morris Trust where insiders buy (an insider buyout) the majority of the float and then the subsidiary (Atrinsic Affiliate) becomes the new entity: In this case, the employees may or may not stay depending on the new structure and direction of the company

Option 3) Take private to gain control of the majority of the float and then sell the company to a big bidder...No retail investors riding coat tails and in this case employees may move to the buyer in anticipation of the agreement or to a totally different entity altogether depending on the overall plan
